Some early #6 frame tens were originally eights. They were rebarreled when eight gauges were outlawed for migratory birds. What auction was the $1800 #6 frame sold? With a serial number, we can tell you if it was originally an eight or a ten. My #6 frame ten was rebarreled in fluid steel, was originally an eight. I overpaid substantially for that gun, but "Just had to have it." It has a very interesting history as the gamegetter for a Nebraska family who lived off the land from pioneer days.
